A serious and potentially devastating effect of Low Level Frequency Sound from existing Wind Turbines has been documented world wide and is being researched by Health experts in Canada and other countries even though CANWEA, the Wind Industry’s representative for all things “good” about Wind Turbines, states there is no ill effects associated with these machines.

Wind turbines are proving to be more of a menace than expected to opeapea – endangered Hawaiian hoary bats, the islands’ only native land mammal. As a result, three wind energy farms are requesting increases in the amount of bats they are allowed to “take.” “Take,” according to the Endangered Species Act, includes harassing, harming, pursuing, hunting, shoot […]

TYRONE – In July, when a representative of Algonquin Power Co. visited Borough Council to outline plans for doubling the size of the 50-megawatt Sandy Ridge Wind Farm on Ice Mountain above the borough, no opposition appeared.

A Norfolk council will appeal a decision not to hold a public inquiry into controversial plans for two wind turbines.

The Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena) was forced to pay twice for the construction of a wind farm on an air force base in Oaxaca after a contractor failed to deliver the project, financial records show.

Towns adopting ordinances with restrictions on wind farm development are making a mistake, said county attorney Dan Taylor. Several Montgomery County towns have either adopted or are considering adopting such ordinances that Taylor says wouldn’t stand if challenged in court. “I think the courts in Indiana have made clear that you can’t regulate land use for […]

While Chicago resident Cary Shepard states that it’s time for us in DeKalb County to embrace wind energy, the disadvantages will only be experienced by those of us living here. The statement that claims the debate is settled on safety and noise issues is patently false. One need only to have attended a single meeting of the DeKalb County Planning and Zoning […]
